Solar Panels on White House

Wow! That was quick - less than one day since Obama's been in the White House and there are solar panels on the roof of the West Wing already!

Well, actually this picture is almost 30 years old - Jimmy Carter installed these back in 1979 - only to have these taken down by Ronald Reagan in 1986 (click here). Makes you wonder - what if? What if we had persisted with Energy Independence as the top priority? What alternate energy sources would we be using today? Would there  be much lesser pollution, lower cancer rates and decrease in other diseases, fewer wars fought over oil, .....

What if? That's such a potent thought.
